Bishops Healing Nations Council, a new chapter in spiritual leadership and community healing was officially launched in Harare yesterday.
Addressing a crowd of hundreds, the founding president, Bishop Philein T. Muzira, who took the procession, talked about the organization’s mission of uniting spiritual leaders from diverse callings bishops, overseers, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and ministers.
“Bishops Healing Nations is a united front of Spiritual leaders of diverse callings. We are united to heal, restore, establish, and increase individuals, Communities, and Nations until we all come to the fullness of the stature of our Lord Jesus Christ.
“The work of the ministry is highly draining, and spiritual energy levels dissipate. Such draining of spiritual vigor requires the Bishops Healing Nations to create a space and atmosphere of healing and revival for the Shepherd of the flock,” said bishop Muzira.
The president stressed that the establishment of Bishops Healing Nations is not a response to a lack of organizations but rather a commitment to collaboration.
“Bishops Healing Nations did not come to this world when ministers were in an organizational vacuum. Many religious organizations were operational. However, let me categorically state that we haven’t come in a competitive spirit but a complimentary one. We pray for associated partnerships as we progress with the Healing mandate.”
He urged existing organizations to continue their work while fostering cooperation among all Christian groups.
“Let the other organizations who license ministers do so, let organizations which affiliate churches do so, let there be Godly cooperation amongst sister Christian organizations.”
The registration process for membership has been designed to be accessible to all ministers, with various benefits, advantages, and privileges for members.
“Therefore it is equally important to make sure you register for membership with Bishops Healing Nations.”
He announced plans for a Bishops Financial Healing workshop, aimed at providing practical methods for financial recovery in ministry and personal life.
“We have made appointments with great business people of the community and very soon will be hosting a Bishops’ Financial Healing workshop.”
